Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts-Chapter 6021 Running Into a Ghost

“Long Chen, I’m coming...”

In a world of ice and snow, a jade-like woman advanced gracefully. Her skin was as fair as snow, and while the surrounding world was frozen, her eyes were even icier.

She was like a goddess born of ice. Heavenly Dao runes swirled around her body, bowing before her as if in reverence.

Wherever she walked, the world of ice and snow followed her. If anyone were to witness this, they would be struck with terror. This world of ice and snow was her domain.

And terrifyingly, this domain wasn’t being activated by her will. It was emanating naturally from the sword on her back.

...

“Long Chen, have you forgotten me?”

Yue Xiaoqian choked back sobs as she stared at the domineering image in a photographic jade.

She said, “I’m sorry. I still... can’t help you.”

She stood amidst ruins, surrounded by tens of thousands of experts from the original devil race. Most were wounded, their auras dim. They had clearly just emerged from a brutal battle.

“Sacred Daughter, we must leave at once. The experts from the Brahma line will catch up soon. We need to find a way around their blockade and return to the God Sealing Land,” urged a Sovereign Lord, bowing respectfully. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Yue Xiaoqian nodded and then tucked away the jade. Without another word, she and her people swiftly vanished into the desolate landscape.

...

“Big brother Long Chen, I’m coming!”

A girl, no older than thirteen or fourteen, held a dagger in one hand and a photographic jade in the other. She wore skin-tight leather armor, her small figure emanating a chilling aura. Yet, when she looked at the figure in the jade, a warm flame flickered in her icy eyes.

...

A woman in violet robes trembled as she held a photographic jade, tears glistening on her cheeks like fallen crystals.

“Do you want to go help him?” a voice asked.

“Yes.”

That woman nodded with determination.

“Zi Yan, that’s not wise. You are filled with devil qi. No one will see you as human. If you aid them, they won’t thank you—they might even try to kill you. And the Zither Sect is still hunting me. I haven’t recovered my strength yet and can’t fight them now. If you're discovered, it will be too dangerous”

“Long Chen is also in danger. I embraced the devil path to gain power—just for him. If he's not in my world, what meaning does my power even have? I have to help him... even if it’s just a little!”

“...Fine. You are my master. I’ll listen to you.”

“Many thanks, senior. In my heart, Long Chen is more important than my life. If I could have helped but didn’t, and something happened to Long Chen, I...” Zi Yan sobbed.

“No need to explain. I can’t comprehend human emotions. Even though you've cultivated my Heavenly Devil Secret Art, I still don’t understand your emotions. The human heart is too chaotic. I neither understand it nor wish to. But since I accepted you as master, I’ll respect your decision. I won’t go back on my word,” said that voice.

“Many thanks, senior!”

Zi Yan’s joy was like a child’s. She waved her hand and tore open the void. Without hesitation, she stepped into the spatial rift.

...

“As fellow human cultivators, the Dragonblood Legion has started the counterattack. How can our Four Cardinal Alliance lag behind? Sound the horn—this is an all-out war to reclaim the cities that are ours!”

“Senior Long Chen is showing his might. Our Starry River line cannot slack. We’ll fight to the death with those savages!”

“As fellow humans, as fellow Heaven Saints, if the Dragonblood Legion dares to challenge the ten thousand races alone, then how can we cower? Dying isn’t terrifying. What’s terrifying is that one day, our descendants ask us what we did during the human race’s greatest resistance, and all we can say is... nothing!”

“Long Chen is the hero of the human race. We have to follow in his footsteps. We will protect the human race’s dignity and honor!”

Following the Dragonblood Legion’s ferocious counterattack, countless human factions also started to launch their counterattacks. It was a response Long Chen never expected.

But right now, Long Chen had no time to think about any of that. He was assaulting his eighty-seventh target.

This time, the enemy was a terrifying tribe of mixed-blood giant devils. These monsters didn’t just have overwhelming strength and massive energy reserves—they also had bodies tougher than steel. Even the Dragonblood Blades struggled to pierce their bones.

They were a powerful and ancient devil tribe—the Evil Blood Giant Devil race. Over a hundred Sovereign Lords, ten thousand Sovereign sprouts, and millions of Human and Devil Emperors formed their ranks.

These devils had just massacred a first-tier sect called the Heavenly Rock Sect to seize a rare spirit stone vein beneath it.

The vein had proven too tempting, and they moved in full force to claim it, wiping out a sect that had boasted over seventy Sovereign Lords.

“Damn humans, how dare you offend my Evil Blood Giant Devil race?! You are courting death!”

A thunderous roar erupted from deep within the tribe, shaking the heavens. The souls of the Dragonblood warriors trembled, and even their dragon blood seemed to freeze.

“A true Sovereign Lord!” exclaimed one of the Dragonblood warriors.

At this sight, Long Chen rushed over.

He said, “If you keep walking at night, you’re bound to run into a ghost. Captains, with me! We’re taking him down. The rest of you—fight steadily. Don’t do anything rash.”

Long Chen shot toward the source of the roar.

Deep underground, the patriarch of the Evil Blood Giant Devil race was absorbing the spirit stone vein’s energy, trying to restore what he had expended during the Heavenly Rock Sect’s destruction.

Though they had won, the cost was steep. The sect’s defensive formations had been exceptionally powerful. If not for the tribe’s true Sovereign Lord, they wouldn’t have broken through.

But even he had been injured in the assault. His core energy was drained, and only this massive underground spirit vein could replenish it. However, even a true Sovereign Lord required months to fully recover such losses.

When Long Chen’s group arrived, the patriarch of the Evil Blood Giant Devils noticed them but dismissed them as mere Heaven Saints. He couldn’t be bothered to take action.

That was his mistake.

In moments, ten Sovereign Lords from his tribe were annihilated. Enraged, he directly came flying out.

“Violet blood Infinity-One—God Slaying Cross!”

Against a true Sovereign Lord, Long Chen unleashed his full power. A million glowing “One” characters merged into a blazing cross in his palm.

With a thunderous shout, he struck at the patriarch of the Evil Blood Giant Devil race.
